About us

The Prysten House is one of Plymouth’s finest early buildings, dating from the year 1500, this historic courtyard house has within it a number of American plaques. It is also partially occupied by a fine restaurant.

The Prysten House’s north garden door (facing St. Andrew’s Church) is today known as the “Door of Unity” (so named on 30th May 1930). Alongside it is mounted a most interesting American tombstone, dating from the maritime warfare of 1812-14 between Great Britain and President Madison’s USA.
